COMMENTS: Not the Biggest Loser
CBS's feature on a trio of abused siblings made no attempt--like ABC's Terry Moran--to draw conclusions about general social policy. It was a simple, affecting tale of unbearable hardship overcome by Mary Calvi of the network's New York City affiliate, WCBS-TV.
She reminded us of the three brothers found starving to death in a New Jersey foster home in 2004: Tre'Shawn, aged 14, weighed 40 lbs; ten-year-old Terrell weighed less than 20 lbs; at age nine, "Michael's tiny body fit into clothes for a baby."
The three were rescued from abuse. They are now happily adopted by the Parrish family and eating healthily. For once, the before-and-after pictures did not show The Biggest Loser but the Greatest Gainers.
